1. My clothes are all tattered and torn
Resembling a garden of varied hues

2. With blue like the sky it's adorned
And red like the sunset's bright hues

3. With gleaming white and jet black
That's the dawn and that's dusk's darker hues

4. Like a rainbow the clouds did drape
My body in a gown, I'm not the horizon's hues

5. A wondrous cold that elegance did sew
So it's no wonder it gained elegance too

6. When I masked myself my friends no more
Could tell that I was their friend when they saw my hues

7. So they did not spare my body
From their shots had they known they'd have been gentle too

8. I passed foes and they smiled
When they saw me though inside they were glum of hues

9. Had they known I was their foe
Soon between us would erupt a feud

10. Night's veil it let down its trail and I started
To drag my tail in wonder, unlike other hues

11. And the crowd around me roared delighted
Like a flood when it starts to spew

12. They swarmed like clouds and huddled
Sticking to each other like a ring of hues

13. And they spread out while the paths were spacious
Like stars of flowers when they do spew

14. I unleashed myself from restrictions
Until I was like an arrow set free from its bow's hues

15. And I spend the night while the people whenever they gather
I pelt them with seeds and they scatter in hues

16. I mock them because they had mocked
Me though we weren't different in hues

17. And war between them and I flared up
A war but its arrows were of paper's hues

18. No spears were raised there nor swords brandished
Just papers strewn that they all did strew

19. I feared none but the gazes of maidens
More potent in action than a doe's gentle hues

20. This is carnival, so compete
To it, for it is joy we imbue
